Amber Eyes

Amber EyesAuthor: Jolyn PalliataOlder YA Book(Amy's Review)

Synopsis

After an accident, one she shouldn’t have walked away from, Lexi’s life finally begins. She meets Dez, a new student with the most beautiful eyes she’s ever seen. And since gazing into them, Lexi has had vivid waking dreams that pull her back through time, and into the warm embrace of a mysterious stranger—a stranger who becomes all too familiar. When offering an explanation for her detailed visions, Dez changes her world forever with two simple words: Soul mates. For the first time in her life, Lexi feels safe and complete. But lingering in the shadows is the embodiment of evil, coveting the light within her. He’s a threat to Lexi’s very existence, and to a love that has transcended time.

If you are a believer of soul mates then you will love this story. It was a really good YA Read. The characters were true to their age and the story flowed nicely. There was a point where Lexi's character kind of stalled when she was going though her depression of being left. I also would have liked to know more about Tobias and his motives but I think that was left to be told in the next book. Other than that it was great. Its a great concept of life after death and keeping certain souls with you. I would recommend this to older young adults only because there are some steamy scenes in the book but nothing to far. I look forward to the next book.
